<h2>Blank gameweeks in FPL 2023/24</h2>
<p><strong>Gameweek 29 </strong>was the last main blank gameweek of the season, with only four fixtures going ahead, although Gameweek 34 could be a blank for some teams.</p>
<p><strong>Gameweek 34 </strong>will be a blank for Tottenham Hotspur but a double for seven other teams, as outlined above. Spurs will also have two further double gameweeks.</p>
<h2>FPL chip strategies to navigate the blank and double gameweeks</h2>
<p>There are a number of special actions that FPL managers can use, called chips, which can help to get through this period of the game and hopefully maximise the points available.</p>
<p>We have separate guides on these, which can be found by clicking on them below:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-fantasy-premier-league-wildcard-and-when-to-use-it"><strong>Wildcard</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-fantasy-premier-league-triple-captain-and-when-to-use-it"><strong>Triple Captain</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-fpl-bench-boost-and-when-to-use-it"><strong>Bench Boost</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-free-hit-chip-in-fpl-and-how-can-we-use-it"><strong>Free Hit</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<h3>What is the best chip strategy?</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/my-team/ai-teams"><strong>Check out Hub AI&#8217;s weekly recommended Free Hit and Wildcard teams!</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p>The best chip strategy is always team dependent.</p>
<p>For example, some may be well set up for the next double gameweek, with two free transfers in addition to prepare. On the other hand, some may be missing the key players and only have one free transfer. In this instance, the latter manager may be more suited to an early Wildcard than the former.</p>
<p>The strategies discussed here and elsewhere on the Hub are for guidance only and are not exhaustive but should help to inspire planning.</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3>Triple Captain and Free Hit options</h3>
</div>
<p>These two chips have been most extensively used.</p>
<p><strong>Erling Haaland </strong>and <strong>Dominic Solanke </strong>were popular Triple Captain options in Double Gameweek 25 and 28 respectively. Around 83% of the world&#8217;s top 250,000 managers are now without their Triple Captain.</p>
<p>Playing the Free Hit in Blank Gameweek 29 was also common, with more than three quarters now having used it.</p>
<p>Double Gameweek 34 and 37 could be the best options left, while these along with Double Gameweek 35 offer the chance to use the Triple Captain.</p>
<p>With the fixtures now set for the rest of the season, here are some options for using the Wildcard and Bench Boost.</p>
<h3>Option 1: Wildcard 35, Bench Boost 37</h3>
<p>✅ Free transfers can be focused on building up to Double Gameweek 34, when doubling teams will be different to Gameweek 37</p>
<p>✅ Playing the Bench Boost soon after the Wildcard makes it easier to prepare for</p>
<p>✅ Could suit FPL managers who played their Free Hit in Gameweek 29 or plan to play it in Gameweek 34</p>
<p>❌ Double Gameweek 34 is now a slightly bigger gameweek than 37 (seven v six doublers)</p>
<p>❌ Late Wildcard potentially minimises its impact, with fewer weeks to benefit from it</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Option 2: Wildcard 33/34, Bench Boost 34</h3>
<p>✅ Double Gameweek 34 now the largest of the season</p>
<p>✅ Wildcard played close to the Bench Boost</p>
<p>✅ More to play for in Double Gameweek 34, while the title/relegation may be settled by Double Gameweek 37</p>
<p>❌ Although Double Gameweek 34 is the largest double, the teams doubling in Gameweek 37 may be more attractive options</p>
<p>❌ Early Wildcard may make it difficult to plan for Double Gameweek 35 and 37, with different teams doubling</p>
